Yesterday I turned mixare application and it reset the android. Is
this a problem of my settings or a bug in the application?

Appeared that the message can not retrieve the exact location, but I
turned on the GPS.

Hi skrobi,

thanks for the report!

The message you see is displayed when your phone does not have a good
GPS "fix" of your position when you first launch the application[1]. It
may be because the last fix you have is too old or non-existant (say you
just turned on the GPS for the first time after a reboot), mixare should
be able to gather your position pretty quickly, though, and should put
the markers onto the right places as soon as this happens.

Just to be sure that everything works as expected, I would like you to
open the "maps" application and wait until you get a GPS fix (your
position should be displayed by the means of a small blue pointer
*without* any bigger circle around it) and then start mixare. This way
you should be able to get a good (and recent) GPS fix without any warning.

How do you think mixare is performing overall on your phone? I am
specially interested in the camera aspect ratio and in the precision. We
did not have the chance to test much on samsung hardware unfortunately.

Best regards,
Daniele

[1] This behavior is going to be improved in the next release of mixare,
thanks to the "back off location pattern" that was explained at the
Google Developer Day in Munich.

I did like you said and it not works.
Maybe this part of code shoud be take in try catch and fore turn on
GPS and use standard location (0,0) - it my opinion.

I will be waiting for next relase and then I could do tests Mixare on
my phone. I'm realy interested this App and i want use it in feature.

If you want you can try building your own mixare from the branch
"back-off" from my fork:
https://github.com/danielegobbetti/mixare/tree/back-off

The source is not yet in sync with the latest goodies from the master
repository, but the new location system should be working fairly well.

Best,
DAniele

P.S. Please understand that this version has not been fully tested!

Oh yeah, now it's working well :)

First Impressions:
- Mixara working wary slow, I decided to compare it with LAYAR and
view of the camera has some delay in relation to reality, mayby it's
reson of render point with description.
- I used Wikipedia layer and i have smallred dot with description - I
do not think it should be that because i saw on screenshot it was big
red circle.
- when I was a week conection with accese point and I tried click on
label i was a little confused because I didn't know whats happen - it
shoud be information about loading.

In next week i will try connect with my own url and we will see :)

When you say "wary slow" do you mean the parsing of the response then finally seeing it in the view?
other than that its pretty stable for me(im using the latest)

No, I mean jumping points with labels - do not go smoothly, and one
more thing I saw today is that the camera image is stretched

ps. Sorry for my english

Hi skrobi,

stretched image this is an old issue that you are experiencing since I
did not rebase the back-off code against master (can you please confirm
that with the market release the image is _not_ stretched?)

Some performance improvements are missing as well, and that could
explain the lag in updating the POIs positions; please try with a small
radius (try to have no more than 15-20 POIs on the radar) and tell us
how it's woirking then.

Thanks a lot!

Daniele

Oh, wait, I did not get that your phone was rebooting with the market
release!

We have at least another report from a user with a Samsung phone
(intercept) that is experiencing reboots!

Please try to checkout the current development release from the master
repository and perform the following on your console:

$ adb logcat | grep Mixare

You should see an output like this at the very beginning:
D/Mixare (10514): Screen res: w:854 h:442 aspect ratio:1.9321266
D/Mixare (10514): Candidate camera element: w:176 h:144 aspect
ratio:1.2222222
D/Mixare (10514): Candidate camera element: w:320 h:240 aspect
ratio:1.3333334
D/Mixare (10514): Candidate camera element: w:352 h:288 aspect
ratio:1.2222222
D/Mixare (10514): Candidate camera element: w:640 h:480 aspect
ratio:1.3333334
D/Mixare (10514): Candidate camera element: w:720 h:480 aspect ratio:1.5
D/Mixare (10514): Candidate camera element: w:720 h:576 aspect ratio:1.25
D/Mixare (10514): Candidate camera element: w:848 h:480 aspect
ratio:1.7666667
D/Mixare (10514): Chosen camera element: w:848 h:480 aspect ratio:1.7666667

Can you please post it here?

I hardcoded a camera resolution that (I hope) will not reset your phone.

Best regards, and thanks for your help!

Hi!

The lates version in the market (0.6.4) should work without issues on
your phone model!
